Why you’d run multiple Training Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Different topics<\/strong> — SQL with one tutor, AWS with another, Python with a third.<\/li>
- Different levels in the same area<\/strong> — a beginner Python requirement plus an advanced Pandas \/ NumPy requirement.<\/li>
- Different outcomes<\/strong> — a certification track plus a hands-on project track.<\/li>
- Different timeframes<\/strong> — one starting immediately, another in 1–3 months.<\/li>
- Job-search prep<\/strong> — one requirement for interview practice, another for a skills brush-up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The My Training Posts hub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Everything lives at Trainings → My Trainings Posts<\/strong> (
tutorac.com\/student\/job-post<\/code>). It’s the single page where every requirement you’ve created is listed as a card, with status tabs at the top and a primary action on each card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Tutorac](\"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/article-16-my-tr-posts.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne Training Requirement per goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The cleanest rule of thumb: one Training Requirement per distinct goal<\/strong>. If two needs share the topic, level, schedule, and outcome, they belong in one requirement. If anything material differs, they belong in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Different topic (SQL vs. AWS) → two requirements.<\/li>
- Different level (beginner Python vs. advanced Pandas) → two requirements.<\/li>
- Different schedule windows (weekday evenings vs. weekends) and you want separate tutors → two requirements.<\/li>
- Same topic, same level, same schedule, you just want to test the market → one requirement.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
One-goal-per-requirement keeps proposals comparable. When a Training Requirement tries to cover too much, tutors quote vague proposals because the scope itself is vague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the status tabs to triage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The status tabs at the top of My Training Posts are your daily triage view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- All<\/strong> — overview of everything you’ve created.<\/li>
- Draft<\/strong> — requirements you haven’t posted yet. Either finish and post, or delete if no longer needed.<\/li>
- Active<\/strong> — the one to check daily. New proposals, messages, and invites land here.<\/li>
- Hired<\/strong> — requirements where you’ve hired at least one tutor; training is in progress.<\/li>
- Closed<\/strong> — archived, read-only. Useful for reference (past briefs, past tutor contacts).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A daily two-minute scan of the Active<\/strong> tab is usually enough to keep things moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Name each requirement clearly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you have three or four requirements live, titles do the work of telling them apart. Good titles include the topic<\/em>, the level<\/em>, and any defining constraint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- “MySQL Training — Beginner, weekday evenings”<\/em><\/li>
- “AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Exam prep in 6 weeks”<\/em><\/li>
- “Python for Data Analysis — Intermediate, real-world project”<\/em><\/li>
- “Java Backend — SDE-1 interview prep”<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Generic titles like “Python help”<\/em> become hard to tell apart on the hub and attract less specific proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read the four counters at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every card shows Proposals<\/strong>, Messages<\/strong>, Invited<\/strong>, and Hire<\/strong> counters. Use them as a daily checklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Proposals (new)<\/strong> — new tutors who’ve responded; open the proposals page and skim.<\/li>
- Messages (unread)<\/strong> — tutors waiting on a reply; respond before they go cold.<\/li>
- Invited<\/strong> — how many tutors you’ve invited; bump it up if Proposals is low.<\/li>
- Hire<\/strong> — how many tutors you’ve hired against this requirement.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When all four counters on a card are zero and the post is older than a few days, it’s a signal to revise the brief or invite tutors directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cross-tutor scheduling across requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Running two or three training contracts in parallel means juggling schedules. A few practical habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Reserve a separate time slot per tutor<\/strong> — for example, Tutor A on Mon\/Wed evenings, Tutor B on Tue\/Thu. Don’t double-book.<\/li>
- Keep timezones consistent<\/strong> with your profile timezone so the hour you see in chat matches the hour on your calendar.<\/li>
- Block buffer time<\/strong> — back-to-back sessions across tutors leave no room for absorbing what you just learned.<\/li>
- Use Tutorac Messages<\/strong> for any reschedule conversations. The chat thread is also the audit trail.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Budget management across requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Each Training Contract funds independently into Tutorac Payment Protection<\/strong>, so your spend across requirements doesn’t auto-pool. Two practical tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Set a per-month learning budget<\/strong> across all your active contracts and use the budget range on each Training Requirement to enforce it.<\/li>
- Prefer fixed-price contracts<\/strong> for predictable outcomes (certifications, defined projects) — they cap total spend. Use hourly contracts where scope is open-ended.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Close requirements when they’re done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve hired the tutor you wanted, close the Training Requirement<\/strong> (with reason “All positions filled”<\/em>). This stops new proposals and frees up your mental space — current applicants get notified, your existing hires are not affected, and the post moves to the Closed tab for future reference. See How to edit or close a Training Requirement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Closing on time also keeps your Active tab clean — if your Active tab has ten cards but only two are real, you’ll miss the real ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to consolidate vs. split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Consolidate (merge into one) when…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- Two requirements have the same topic, same level, and you’d be happy with one tutor for both.<\/li>
- You posted a generic version first (e.g., “Python help”<\/em>) and then a sharper one (“Python for Data Analysis”<\/em>) — close the generic one and keep the sharp one.<\/li>
- The two were posted to test the market and you only have bandwidth for one.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Split (post two) when…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- The scope keeps growing in chat and no single tutor is a great fit for all of it.<\/li>
- You realise you want two different specialists (e.g., a SQL tutor and a Power BI tutor).<\/li>
- One outcome is short-term (certification in 4 weeks) and the other is long-term (ongoing skill-building).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Is there a limit to how many Training Requirements I can post?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Posting Training Requirements is free, and there is no hard cap. The practical limit is how many you can actually compare and follow up on — most learners find 2 to 4 active at once is the sweet spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I move a proposal from one Training Requirement to another?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Not directly. If a tutor proposed for the wrong requirement, message them and ask them to send a fresh proposal against the correct one (or send them an Invite to that requirement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I hire the same tutor on two Training Requirements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Each Training Requirement creates its own contract, so you can have two parallel contracts with the same tutor on different topics. Tutorac shows each contract separately under Trainings → All Contracts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I keep track of unread messages across requirements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Two places to watch: the Messages<\/strong> tab in the top nav (with a global unread count) and the Messages<\/strong> counter on each card in My Training Posts. Pick whichever flow you prefer — per-requirement or chronological across all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Active tab is getting cluttered. What should I do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Close anything you’ve actually filled (reason: “All positions filled”<\/em>) and anything where the goal is no longer relevant (reason: “Requirement was cancelled”<\/em>). A clean Active tab makes the rest much easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I reuse a closed requirement as the starting point for a new one?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open the closed post via the Closed<\/strong> tab, copy its title, description, skills, and budget, then post a new Training Requirement with the same content (and revise where needed). A fresh post attracts new proposals faster than reopening would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should I tell each tutor about my other Training Requirements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to, but it can help when scope or scheduling depends on it — for example, “I’m also doing AWS in parallel, so let’s keep SQL sessions on Mon\/Wed only.” Tutors appreciate the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
